The purpose of today's meeting is to continue our engagement on matters of policing the city centre, the far right and protests. We will also discuss resources for An Garda Síochána and examine the events in Dublin two weeks ago. We have met the Garda Commissioner and we are due to meet the Minister for Justice today. However, the Minister has been delayed at a Cabinet meeting. We will suspend for ten minutes to allow the Minister to get here. When we resume, Senator Ward will take the Chair.
